2016 HG: NEW: Skills analysis for new people in virtual worlds and for the HGProject

Skills analysis for new people in virtual worlds and for HGProjects

To bring people into virtual worlds, we need to teach them how to use virtual worlds. That means we need to specify the skills needed to use virtual worlds. So we start with a skills analysis.

Here I propose a straw-man version, based on my policy:

It does not have to be right at the start--just at the finish.

I will later propose some instructional plans or report on existing instruction.

Basic skills--needed by everyone

Log on and off

Move avatar locally: walk, fly

View control: Zoom, cam around

Manage inventory

Interact with things: Sit, stand, click

Communicate: Typed chat, Voice, IM

Interact with people: Identify, find, friend

Avatar select, wear, adjust

Play local music

Teleport, ingrid and over HG
